This article is about the hostile ship. For the type of player starship, see Interceptor (Starship).

Sentinel Interceptors are a type of Sentinel encountered in space.

Summary[]

Sentinel Interceptors are the main sentinel units sent against the player while they are flying in their spaceship. They behave like hostile pirate ships and attack the player if they are wanted by authorities, and the number of ships increases with the wanted level.

These units can be deployed either in space, or in atmosphere if the player tries to escape from sentinel units on land.

Appearance[]

Each Sentinel starship has its own unique appearance, thanks to procedural generation. However they typically feature red lights and orange coloured hulls.

Prior to the Interceptor update, Sentinel starships used a unique model featuring the similar red lights and orange hull, but with two exhaust trails.

Friendly Units[]

On some occasions, these sentinel units can fight alongside the player against pirates:

By using a Defence Chit while engaged in space battle, sentinel units will come to aid the player
If the player has a Combat Frigate currently present in the system, it will move closer when a battle starts, and summon sentinel starships to help against the hostile ships

Obtaining[]

As of update 4.20, the player can find crashed interceptor ships on corrupted planets. They can be modified to add a cockpit for manual flying to be obtained. Each system has a different style of interceptor which can be found in any class. When obtained by the player, they are classified by the game as salvaged ships. They have their own unique starship parts that cannot be used with other starship types.

Since update 5.00 the most relaible way to obtain Sentinel Interceptors is through the Carrier AI Fragments, as they will lead you directly to the crash site of the interceptor.

To find a ship, either defeat the final wave of space sentinels, or defeat the final wave of sentinels on a dissonant planet (it will say there are dissonant sentinels in purple when you look at the planet from space) - which are found in systems that say "Dissonant" at the top of the popup when you look at the system from the galaxy map, instead of where it says "Water". You can also explore a dissonant planet until you find a Harmonic Camp or a ship from exploration. However, it may take lots of time, so it is advised to destroy a Dissonance Resonator that gives an Echo Locator. (To see if they will give an Inverted Mirror or an Echo Locator, observe the Dissonance Resonator up close.)
